She's honest, hard working, and extremely investor friendly.

No, this is not an endorsement I'm just extremely excited to share my experience.

Sure there are stories about people renting to quiet elderly section 8 tenants who don't cause any trouble and are perfect tenants, but for every one of those, there five like your sister's.

:)My partner and I are extremely interested in getting our real estate investment business off the ground in 2017.

My immediate next steps are that I'm putting burglar bars on doors and windows ($2200)The good news is that the insurance claim process was extremely painless and I already have a check from them. 

During the time of renting it I started to read a lot of information about real estate online and became extremely interested in it.  

I have seen regulators do strange things but if any regulator even proposed expanding their guidance to encompass credit decisions, the pushback even within HUD, not to mention FHFA and the Enterprises because of establishing a very dangerous precedent would be so swift that I doubt anyone would even know of such a proposal before it was quietly killed internally.Even Liz Warren isn't that out of touch. 

And, this business is not like what all of those gurus say it is, it would be extremely difficult to become successful with just driving for dollars and mailing out 50 letters a month.  

Took extremely longer than it should have to renovate and rent out.

This is obviously an extreme example, but highlights the fact that there are dozens of reasons as to why a commercial strip center could be failing, regardless if it's from micro or macroeconomic factors.
